Why are GMOs bad? They aren’t. They just aren’t, not intrinsically, and certainly not for your health. We’ve been eating them for decades with no ill effects, which makes sense, because a genetically modified organism is simply an organism, like every other organism, produces hundreds of thousands of proteins, but one or two of them are proteins that were chosen specifically by humans.

(French version -- http://www.greenpeace.org/ogm)
Genetic engineering is a threat to food security, especially in a changing climate. The introduction of genetically manipulated organisms by choice or by accident grossly undermines sustainable agriculture and in so doing, severely limits the choice of food we can eat.
Once GE plants are released into the environment, they are out of control. If anything goes wrong - they are impossible to recall.
GE contamination threatens biodiversity respected as the global heritage of humankind, and one of our world's fundamental keys to survival.

Guys, write your comments!
Narration Script:
Genetically modified crops are plants that have been created by adding new genes using methods of gene technology.
Most plant crops grown today have been created by breeding. Breeding achieves introduction of new traits into existing crop lines by crossing them with other lines of the same crop that have a desired trait.
During initial stages of breeding, all genes of parental lines are recombined in a random order. Because resulting plants are quite a mix, both genetically and phenotypically, they are backcrossed to one of the parents, and then backcrossed again several times until the original genotype of the parent is restored to large degree.
Now, think of the time it takes to do all the backcrossing. On average it takes about ten generations, or five years of back crossing, to develop a new variety of wheat by conventional breeding methods. Breeding a new variety of apples takes about fifteen years.
Another challenge plant breeders face is that they can only transfer genes between closely related species. Even if there was, say, a very useful draught tolerance gene in oranges, it could never be transferred to apples by crossing.
These two limitations of breeding can be bypassed by introducing genes into plant genome directly, either with Agrobacterium or with a gene gun.
A gene that is being introduced can be isolated from a related plant species, isolated from a completely different organism, or it can be designed on a computer and synthesized in a test tube.
Agrobacterium tumefaciens is a soil microorganism that can naturally transfer some of its DNA into plant cells.
In wild Agrobacterium strains this DNA, called transfer DNA, contains several genes that hijack plant biochemical pathways and make plant cells synthesize chemical compounds that Agrobacterium uses for food.
Using methods of molecular cloning, all bacterial genes on transfer DNA can be removed and replaced with the genes of interest. Agrobacterium then delivers these genes into plant nucleus where they integrate into plant genome.
Another technology widely used for plant transformation is a gene gun. Instead of inserting genes of interest into Agrobacterium, the DNA is loaded onto microscopic gold particles and it is literally shot into plant cells. Some of the gold particles land in cell nuclei and DNA from them gets inserted into plant chromosomes.
Both Agrobacterim- and gene gun-mediated gene delivery is done in plant tissue culture - little clamps of plant cells that later on differentiate and grow into actual plants.
So, in the form of breeding, genetic modification of plants has been practiced for thousands of years. Modern methods of gene technology make this process faster, more precise, and open to using genes from unrelated species.

Genetically modified organism

A genetically modified organism (GMO) is any organism whose genetic material has been altered using genetic engineering techniques (i.e. genetically engineered organism). GMOs are the source of medicines and genetically modified foods and are also widely used in scientific research and to produce other goods.The term GMO is very close to the technical legal term, 'living modified organism', defined in the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety, which regulates international trade in living GMOs (specifically, "any living organism that possesses a novel combination of genetic material obtained through the use of modern biotechnology").

A more specifically defined type of GMO is a "Transgenic Organism". This is an organism whose genetic makeup has been altered by the addition of genetic material from another, unrelated organism. This should not be confused with the more general way in which "GMO" is used to classify genetically altered organisms, as typically GMOs are organisms whose genetic makeup has been altered without the addition of genetic material from an unrelated organism.

Genetic engineering

Genetic engineering, also called genetic modification, is the direct manipulation of an organism's genome using biotechnology. It is a set of technologies used to change the genetic makeup of cells, including the transfer of genes within and across species boundaries to produce improved or novel organisms. New DNA may be inserted in the host genome by first isolating and copying the genetic material of interest using molecular cloning methods to generate a DNA sequence, or by synthesizing the DNA, and then inserting this construct into the host organism. Genes may be removed, or "knocked out", using a nuclease. Gene targeting is a different technique that uses homologous recombination to change an endogenous gene, and can be used to delete a gene, remove exons, add a gene, or introduce point mutations.

An organism that is generated through genetic engineering is considered to be a genetically modified organism (GMO). The first GMOs were bacteria generated in 1973 and GM mice in 1974. Insulin-producing bacteria were commercialized in 1982 and genetically modified food has been sold since 1994. GloFish, the first GMO designed as a pet, was first sold in the United States in December 2003.

(French version -- http://www.greenpeace.org/ogm)
Genetic engineering is a threat to food security, especially in a changing climate. The introduction of genetically manipulated organisms by choice or by accident grossly undermines sustainable agriculture and in so doing, severely limits the choice of food we can eat.
Once GE plants are released into the environment, they are out of control. If anything goes wrong - they are impossible to recall.
GE contamination threatens biodiversity respected as the global heritage of humankind, and one of our world's fundamental keys to survival.

Narration Script:
Genetically modified crops are plants that have been created by adding new genes using methods of gene technology.
Most plant crops grown today have been created by breeding. Breeding achieves introduction of new traits into existing crop lines by crossing them with other lines of the same crop that have a desired trait.
During initial stages of breeding, all genes of parental lines are recombined in a random order. Because resulting plants are quite a mix, both genetically and phenotypically, they are backcrossed to one of the parents, and then backcrossed again several times until the original genotype of the parent is restored to large degree.
Now, think of the time it takes to do all the backcrossing. On average it takes about ten generations, or five years of back crossing, to develop a new variety of wheat by conventional breeding methods. Breeding a new variety of apples takes about fifteen years.
Another challenge plant breeders face is that they can only transfer genes between closely related species. Even if there was, say, a very useful draught tolerance gene in oranges, it could never be transferred to apples by crossing.
These two limitations of breeding can be bypassed by introducing genes into plant genome directly, either with Agrobacterium or with a gene gun.
A gene that is being introduced can be isolated from a related plant species, isolated from a completely different organism, or it can be designed on a computer and synthesized in a test tube.
Agrobacterium tumefaciens is a soil microorganism that can naturally transfer some of its DNA into plant cells.
In wild Agrobacterium strains this DNA, called transfer DNA, contains several genes that hijack plant biochemical pathways and make plant cells synthesize chemical compounds that Agrobacterium uses for food.
Using methods of molecular cloning, all bacterial genes on transfer DNA can be removed and replaced with the genes of interest. Agrobacterium then delivers these genes into plant nucleus where they integrate into plant genome.
Another technology widely used for plant transformation is a gene gun. Instead of inserting genes of interest into Agrobacterium, the DNA is loaded onto microscopic gold particles and it is literally shot into plant cells. Some of the gold particles land in cell nuclei and DNA from them gets inserted into plant chromosomes.
Both Agrobacterim- and gene gun-mediated gene delivery is done in plant tissue culture - little clamps of plant cells that later on differentiate and grow into actual plants.
So, in the form of breeding, genetic modification of plants has been practiced for thousands of years. Modern methods of gene technology make this process faster, more precise, and open to using genes from unrelated species.

Why are GMOs Bad?

Why are GMOs bad? They aren’t. They just aren’t, not intrinsically, and certainly not for your health. We’ve been eating them for decades with no ill effects, which makes sense, because a genetically modified organism is simply an organism, like every other organism, produces hundreds of thousands of proteins, but one or two of them are proteins that were chosen specifically by humans.

Another challenge plant breeders face is that they can only transfer genes between closely related species. Even if there was, say, a very useful draught tolerance gene in oranges, it could never be transferred to apples by crossing.
These two limitations of breeding can be bypassed by introducing genes into plant genome directly, either with Agrobacterium or with a gene gun.
A gene that is being introduced can be isolated from a related plant species, isolated from a completely different organism, or it can be designed on a computer and synthesized in a test tube.
Agrobacterium tumefaciens is a soil microorganism that can naturally transfer some of its DNA into plant cells.
In wild Agrobacterium strains this DNA, called transfer DNA, contains several genes that hijack plant biochemical pathways and make plant cells synthesize chemical compounds that Agrobacterium uses for food.
Using methods of molecular cloning, all bacterial genes on transfer DNA can be removed and replaced with the genes of interest. Agrobacterium then delivers these genes into plant nucleus where they integrate into plant genome.
Another technology widely used for plant transformation is a gene gun. Instead of inserting genes of interest into Agrobacterium, the DNA is loaded onto microscopic gold particles and it is literally shot into plant cells. Some of the gold particles land in cell nuclei and DNA from them gets inserted into plant chromosomes.
Both Agrobacterim- and gene gun-mediated gene delivery is done in plant tissue culture - little clamps of plant cells that later on differentiate and grow into actual plants.
So, in the form of breeding, genetic modification of plants has been practiced for thousands of years. Modern methods of gene technology make this process faster, more precise, and open to using genes from unrelated species.
